Investigating officer, Detective Inspector Simon Marples said: “We are still working hard to identify the person so we can inform any next of kin, however it has now been established that it is the body of a male.

“We are reviewing our missing people database as well as liaising with the community, other police forces and partners to establish who the person is.

“A post mortem was held yesterday [Monday, February 6] but the cause of death was inconclusive so more tests will be carried out.

“The death is being treated as unexplained but not suspicious at this stage of the investigation."
